-====Q&A==== 
- 
-**Q: Instead of using captions, my book has numbered linked text (like endnotes) to a Credits section at the end of the book.  Should I cut and paste the credits and use them for captions?  Should I keep the Credits section or remove it? UPDATE: Some pictures do have captions, some just the numbered credit link, others have both.** 
  
-A: I think that's a great approach - instead of the caption linking to the credit text at the back of the book, just use that credit text as the caption itself (using Insert Caption). We can prefix the caption with **Credit:** [insert credit text]. Then we can remove the Credits section as you suggested.
